A brief recent history of New Zealand’s involvement in Afghanistan shows all too clearly the incompetence of Prime Minister Ardern, Foreign Minister Mahuta and Defence Minister Henare. The last Kiwi troops left Afghanistan in May this year. There has been constant calls since then to allow Afghans who supported our efforts and whose lives would be at risk to come to New Zealand. Ardern and her Cabinet have spent the time since then in a ‘Nero-like’ consideration of the ‘immigration settings’ for this with Immigration Minister Faafoi doing his best to hide from the media outlets he used to work for as a journalist.

The New Zealand Defence Force Afghanistan deployment, which has been given an exemption from the COVID-19 lockdown, is en route to the Middle East with twice the amount of troops.
Defence Minister Peeni Henare says due to the developing situation, up to 80 personnel are being deployed - double the amount he said would be sent when the mission was announced on Monday.

Armed Taliban members knocked on doors in cities across Afghanistan on Wednesday, witnesses said, telling fearful residents to return to their jobs a day after the militants announced they wanted to revive the country's battered economy.
Widespread destruction during a 20-year war between U.S.-backed government forces and the Taliban, the drop in local spending due to departing foreign troops, a tumbling currency and lack of dollars are fuelling economic crisis in the country.

As the Taliban tightens its grip on Afghanistan’s capital, there’s concern the group’s rapid takeover may result in a downward spiral for the country’s freedoms despite the organisation claiming to be more moderate.
Fighters met little resistance as they entered Kabul on Monday, quickly taking control of the presidential palace and subsequently, Afghanistan’s seat of power.

Officials are scrambling to figure out how the man in his 50s caught the coronavirus, when there is no obvious link to managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ), where the Delta variant has been picked up in arrivals at the border.

Since the withdrawal of American and NATO forces from Afghanistan in July, the Taliban have swiftly taken control of large parts of the country. The president has fled and the government has fallen.
Emboldened by their success, lack of resistance by Afghan forces and minimal international pressure, the Taliban have intensified their violence. For Afghan women, their increasing power is terrifying.
